Just in case there's anything in this tiddler of any use to you (even if just to give you an idea on how to do something, or how to not do something?), check out my "Product Template" tiddler: https://intertwingularityslicendice.neocities.org/CJ_ProductReviews.html#tProductTiddler
It is a transclusion template that looks at tags to figure out how to display transcluded products based on their tags. Do keep in mind that I am a barely-yellow-belt TiddlyWiki user, so take all with a heaping dose of skepticism ! I look forward to seeing the good stuff you come up with. Cheers !
